Most information is found in git-submodule.sh, although Documentation/git-submodule.txt has beginnings of a good documentation.
The basic idea is this:
A subdirectory contains a self-contained project.
Once that project is at a stage you want to have in the superproject, you can commit that submodule state, much like a subdirectory.
However, the history can progress in much coarser steps for the superproject. IOW an ideal case for msysgit.git, where we want to have a stable version which can be checked out with GitMe.
Also, find more about submodules here:
